Where previously Bellerin made all the right noises about staying at Arsenal, recent rumours suggest he is not happy at the cub and would move on in the summer if he’s allowed.

The Mail reports that Arsenal had been reluctant to sell Bellerin, but they have now come round to the idea as a way of increasing funds available this summer.

Bellerin’s development has stalled badly in recent seasons – a damming indictment of coaching at the club and he is another player who has world class potential that is likely going to be realised elsewhere. Perhaps in Italy. Alongside the world class goalkeeper we sold for peanuts because we couldn’t develop him, either.
